Sterling has escaped unemployment.

Raheem Sterling has officially begun a new chapter in his career by joining Feyenoord on a free transfer.

Sterling immediately found a new club after leaving Chelsea.

Raheem Sterling has finally left Chelsea. For the first time in his career, he has chosen to play outside of England, a difficult decision for a player who has been familiar with the Premier League for over a decade.

Three and a half years at Stamford Bridge ended quietly. This season, Sterling hasn't even played a single game. He's no longer in the plans, and that's clear to everyone. There were rumors of moves to Fulham or Crystal Palace, but instead of staying in England in a safe role, Sterling chose to move further, both literally and figuratively.

Feyenoord became Sterling's new destination. Robin van Persie, who was managing Rotterdam, played a key role in the deal. The two sides spoke directly and frankly. Ultimately, Sterling signed a short-term contract until the end of the season. No fanfare, no ostentation, just a well-timed handshake.

At 31, Sterling understands he doesn't have much time left for trial and error. This time, he's a free agent, free to decide his own future. He says he spent time discussing things thoroughly with the club's management and coach to understand what they expect from him. Not just to find a new team, but to ensure he truly has a place there.

Feyenoord currently sit second in the Eredivisie, with their goals still within reach despite being far behind PSV in the title race. They still need points to secure a Champions League spot. Their attack is also depleted due to Shaqueel van Persie's long-term injury. Sterling is expected to bring experience and composure in the crucial final stages of the season.

Van Persie called it an important signing for the club. Sterling, on the other hand, put it more simply: he wanted to be happy and feel useful. After months of not playing, that's probably what he needed most.

The Eredivisie may just be a short chapter in Sterling's career. But sometimes, a short chapter is enough to change how people see you, and how you see yourself.
